I spotted this over on the Maritime Sentry, a conservative policy-oriented blog.

Excerpt:

This gives the voters of Florida a chance to elect a true Conservative. Marco Rubio already has a record of standing on principle and being an articulate spokesman for Conservative ideals. Here is his official announcement video.

The video:

Cuban-Americans are SO CONSERVATIVE! They know the dangers of progressive policies.

I also noticed that the fiscal conservatives at the Club for Growth are pretty excited as well!

Excerpt:

Rubio, a young Cuban-American, highlighted his conservative record in a recent interview with the Club for Growth – including efforts to overhaul Florida’s tax system, reduce property taxes, and decrease the size of government.

“His fiscally responsible, pro- growth approach in the State Capitol stands in stark contrast with other elements of the state government, led by Charlie Crist” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola.

Also from the Washington Independent’s David Weigel, good news for Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania: (H/T Club For Growth)

The campaign of Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Pat Toomey announced that is has raised “raised over half a million dollars from over four thousand contributors” since the candidate entered the race on April 15. A hard number would be more interesting, but the campaign is backing up what a campaign worker told me (anonymously, for some reason) on the day of the the Specter switch: that the Website was deluged with donations.

Looking good for 2010!

UPDATE: I found even MORE good news over on the Anchoress’ blog. She has a post filled with interesting links, including a link to a recent Pew Research poll. The poll shows that the public is becoming more supporting of the pro-life view and the pro-legal-gun-ownership view.

For the first time in a Pew Research survey, nearly as many people believe it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns (45%) than to control gun ownership (49%). As recently as a year ago, 58% said it was more important to control gun ownership while 37% said it was more important to protect the right to own guns.

…Currently, 46% say abortion should be legal in most cases (28%) or all cases (18%); 44% believe that abortion should be illegal in most (28%) or all cases (16%).

So, some things are going well!
